About Our Organization
The New York Working Families Party is New York's progressive political party. We are an independent, people-powered political party that is focused on tackling the political, economic, and educational inequality that deprives working and middle class families of opportunity. Our vision is to build a New York that is fair for all of us, not just the wealthy and well-connected. From small-town school boards to Congress, a new generation of Working Families leaders are fighting for a $15 minimum wage, a Green New Deal, ending mass incarceration, and pro-democracy reforms.
Working Families is an equal opportunity employer with a commitment to economic and social justice. Women, people of color, LGBTQ people, people with disabilities, and members of other historically disenfranchised populations are strongly encouraged to apply.
